BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — Buffalo firefighters and city workers saved the life of a puppy trapped in a vent pipe for more than two hours Wednesday.

Crews were called just after 4 p.m. to 397 Warwick Ave. in Buffalo after someone reported the dog being trapped in a sewer drain. The caller said he could hear the puppy but not see it.

Response efforts more than two hours, but applause erupted as rescue workers pulled the tiny black teacup terrier named Bailey from the drain. Large equipment was required to excavate a hole large enough for a man to climb into.

“I love Buffalo firefighters, I love Buffalo police, I love all of y’all,” the owner of the dog said.
